We really need to know what the situation is to advise though. Will they pay late, won't they pay, can't they pay yadda yadda. All need different approaches. If they are being an arse a letter from your solicitor will normally put the willies up them. If they can't pay or are in contractual dispute then you would be wasting your time and money just demanding it and so on.

Hi northernladuk,

I'm currently on my third and final demand letter to them regarding The Late Payment Legislation. I'm just wondering what comes first, Debt Collector or going to Court/Money Claim Online?

Ordinarily you would chase the debt yourself, then instruct a collections agent and if that fails then go to court. As the costs generally increase for each step.

Have a look at The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations 2013 - Pay on Time

and maybe try their forums to see if anything similar to your situation is there

Hi there,

Has anyone on here had success with recovering late payments using a debt collector?

Cheers
